Heartbreaking! 9 Month Old Baby Goes Missing After Mother ‘borrowed’ him to a Neighbour
Abongile Nojahi, a South African mother has been left heartbroken and shattered after her 9-month-old baby boy, Olwethu Gift Nojahi was abducted from his home in Mt Moriah in Durban last week, Gist Ghana reports.
Giving details of the sad occurrence to Times Live, the 25-year-old distraught mother claims she had let her 17-year-old neighbour, Zanele Mchunu “borrow” her son on Saturday and since then she hasn’t set her eyes on her child nor the neighbour whose phone has been out of reach.
“This is so hard. I don’t sleep at night because I just lie awake and worry about where he is‚” Abongile said.She came to my house and asked if she could borrow my baby and I said that was fine. She said she would come back. I gave her my baby and by the time Sunday came‚ she had never come back‚” the unemployed mother added.
Due to their relationship and closeness, Abongile said she felt comfortable leaving her son with her friend‚ and did not find the request strange or had any reason to suspect that she would make such move.
”She often looks after him‚ so it was normal to me. I have known her for a year and she is my neighbour.”
She has however reported the missing case of her child to the police and Police spokesperson Captain Nqobile Gwala made an appeal to the general public with information to reach them.
Gwala requested that anyone with information of their whereabouts contact Warrant Officer SV Mhlongo on 031 508 2330 or 073 254 2512 or Crime Stop on 08600 10111.

Who borrows out her baby? Na wa oh. She’s known the said neighbor for just a year and borrows her baby out to the neighbor. I have a problem with the word borrow here because I am not understanding it at all.
